Completion of this 50-subject study is a key milestone on the path to delivering the first device for non-invasive and accurate measurement of pulmonary pressure
Los Angeles, CA – January 16, 2024 – Non-invasive cardiac assessment company Sensydia announced that it has completed its 50-subject development study at the University of Minnesota (UMN). This study was conducted at UMN to collect data for its innovative AI-powered, non-invasive Cardiac Performance System (CPS) that uses heart sound analysis to enable earlier detection and more effective therapy guidance for patients suffering from heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.
Sensydia is developing the CPS platform, which uses ultra-sensitive biosensors to provide clinicians with rapid, non-invasive measurement of ejection fraction, cardiac output, pulmonary artery pressure, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in a handheld device. Knowledge of these parameters is critical when caring for individuals with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. To obtain these measurements today, patients must undergo echocardiography and invasive right heart catheterization, which are resource intensive, restricted to medical facilities, and only provide snapshot data. In contrast, CPS measurements are fast, safe, may be repeated as frequently as indicated, and can be performed essentially anywhere with minimal training.
"This is Sensydia’s fifth successful study, and we will continue to collect data across leading cardiac care institutions to improve the performance and utility of the artificial intelligence algorithms that power our breakthrough CPS platform," said Anthony Arnold, President and CEO of Sensydia. “We’re working to overcome today’s barriers in acquiring vital hemodynamic measures for monitoring and managing cardiac patients, and we appreciate the participation of cardiologists and staff at University of Minnesota in working toward this goal.”
“The CPS platform shows promise as a non-invasive alternative to routine echocardiography and right-heart catheterization. It has the potential to positively impact the way patients with heart failure are monitored, managed, and ultimately to improve clinical outcomes,” said Tamas Alexy, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine and Principal Investigator, UMN Medical School. “These measurements are essential in the diagnosis and ongoing management of patients with heart failure as well as pulmonary hypertension. We are pleased to help evaluate Sensydia’s platform utilizing acoustic sensing technology and advanced AI algorithms, reducing the need for repeat echocardiograms and invasive hemodynamic assessments.”...
